Zelda/Switch must have had a small shipment

Nick Wingfield on Twitter: "2. Fri-Sat sales for Nintendo Switch exceeded first 2-day sales in Americas for any system in Nintendo history. Next biggest was Wii."

Apparently the Wii sold 600k in its first 8 days for comparison.

~470k

It was the 7 days in NPD November 2006.

For the sake of accuracy... 476k

This is comparing the Americas not just the US though.

So Switch will probably have an uphill sales battle. At least it's breaking the trend and not doing worse than Wii U.

Not bad for the switch. I wonder what the source is

I expected more... well I expected more in UK too.

Nintendo won't reach 2m this fiscal year.
